General & Emergency Surgery in Johannesburg
Alongside breast surgery, Dr Broeze is a fully qualified specialist general surgeon, experienced in laparoscopic abdominal surgery, trauma and emergency care.
Performed by Dr Nadine Broeze at Johannesburg Surgical Hospital, Randburg, Johannesburg.
What it involves
This includes gallbladder removal, appendicectomy, hernia repair, removal of skin and soft-tissue lumps, and the management of acute abdominal emergencies and trauma.
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery means smaller wounds, less pain and a quicker return to normal life for most abdominal operations.
The practice provides a written quotation with the procedure codes; you submit it to your medical aid to obtain pre-authorisation before the operation.
When it's indicated
Sudden severe abdominal pain, a painful hernia, gallstone attacks or an injury need prompt surgical assessment.
The approach
Dr Broeze regularly operates alongside her colleague Dr Pieter Marais, bringing a team approach and keyhole techniques to general surgical cases wherever they are suitable.
Recovery
Most keyhole operations are a day case or one-night stay, with return to desk work in about a week.
